Spot healing brush for video

Hi - I am working on some video where I need to remove sensor dust. I have tried the clone stamp stuff in AE CS5, but for this footage the healing brush in photoshop seemed a better proposition (the content aware variant). The method I tried was importing the video, adding a normal (non-video) layer and then use the healing brush. Issue is that the healing brush takes the content/fill from the first frame you started using it on; i.e. it doesn't continuously update based on the video underneath. Not so much an issue if the footage is somewhat static, but when there's a fair bit of movement then you can run into situations that you replace a dust speckle on a wall with a bit of sky!! (i.e. not ideal!).
Would there be any way around it? (i.e. getting the brush to continuously sample the video layer underneath).
Many thanks, 3dmus

Let me start by saying I have zero experience with video, but...
Since the Content Aware Fill function goes looking for appropriate matches elsewhere in the image (in the same frame, I imagine, for video), and I don't think you can definitively predict what it will do, is this the best approach for video?
I have this vision of a spot in successive frames of video being filled with slightly different info each frame, and thus looking rather weird when animated.
Maybe something like a Median / Fade Darken activity on a small selection encompassing the sensor spot would be more usable, as it would use the pixels in the immediate vicinity, and be more predictable?

Photoshop CS5 Spot Healing Brush only blurs

Here's a before and after shot. I recently upgraded from CS3 and the spot healing brush always worked great.
Now when I use it, whether or not I use content aware fill, it leaves a blurred residue of what I was trying to remove.
As an aside, the Content Aware Fill leaves a similar residue, enough to make it effectively unusable.
I have included a sample photo of the spot healing brush problem. Left side is before and right side is after.
I just wanted to get rid of the electrical wall socket. You can see that it's not working. I am running windows 8 in a 64-bit environtment and running the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.5
Any assitance anyone is able to afford me is greatly appreciated.

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with your choice of Spot Healing Brush for this image. I cropped your screenshot to the "BEFORE" image, removed the "BEFORE" type (with the SHB) and scaled to 600% to match your original document.
A dab of a 0% hardness 500 pixel Spot Healing Brush in Ps CS5.1 on OS X 10.6.8 worked perfectly. However, I would have made a vertical stroke with the brush at about 80% hardness and about 200 pixels, which also works for me.
Maybe your SHB is working in "Create Texture" mode despite specifying "Proximity Match" in Options bar. Try resetting the SHB by right-clicking its icon at left of Options bar and picking "Reset Tool" from the menu that appears.

I using windows seven for Photoshop and when I use the spot healing brush or the brush tool I get a cross hair and not the circle ?

How do I fix this issue? some time it works and the other times I get the cross hair

I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.

Spot healing brush - i have icon for healing brush - why not this one? Ps cc

i have Photoshop cc and watched a tutorial which uses the spot healing brush - the icon looks like an x made of arrows, you hover and it gives you choices. mine does not have the content aware move tool icon, only the brush. is there a way to turn it on?@

Can you please do a screen grab showing what choices you DO have?
If you truly don't have all the tools that are normally available in the position in the Tools panel, then you likely need to do a full removal and reinstallation. But please don't do this before showing what you see. It may be we can spot something else wrong.

Spot Healing Brush WOES

I can't use the spot healing brush. Whenever I try, a little notice appears at the bottom of my screen that says there are new capabilities available for the spot healing brush "click here". I've clicked and all it was is a tutorial video. I've watched the video numerous times, but the notice still will not go away. How do I get the use of my spot healing brush back?

Try selecting the tool and then do a reset (see image below).

Problems using the Spot Healing Brush

I've tried to use the spot healing brush on a number of photos but it doesn't work at all - I've watched the video tutorial, but wehen I try and use it nothing happens - it appears to be the only part of Lightroom 5 that doesn't work.
How can I solve this problem?

Keith,
This is what happens when I try and use the Spot Healing Brush:
I can select spots to heal/delete/duplicate - both single and multiple
After selection and hitting "done" nothing happens.
Consequently the spots I jhave tried to heral appear on the exported picture.
I would expect the Spot Healing Brush in Lightroom 5 to acxt the same as in Adobe Photshop Elements 10 - ie. you see the spot disapear, but for some reason it is not.
Hence the question, as I am wondering whether I'm doing something wrong-I've wateched the tutorial and it doesn't give me any clues as to whether I am doing anything wrong to erase/remove the spots.

Pen tool/path and content aware spot healing brush to remove cables (CS5)

Tried to remove some cables from an image using Russel Brown's video making use of the pen tool/path and the spot healing brush with content aware. I'm pretty sure I followed his tutorial exactly but it did not work satisfactorily. Are there any other tweaks I should be using to remove these cables and replace them with the background details?

Yes to all.
Silkrooster - Looks great! However, I believe spot healing brush was the first I tried and got smudgy results, especially in area of the locks where there is a lot of detail behind the cables. Found the patch tool works best, but not where there is a lot of detail behind the cables.
Fosse - Well, the bow of the ship going through the Panama Canal at 6 AM in the morning is a popular place, very crowded, and not one of them a photographer. I was lucky enough to get the last spot which was dead center, but in front of the cables. I tried to prevail on some people next to me to trade spots, but none were willing ($##$!!!&& b---ds) and they didn't even have cameras. However, will keep your suggestion in mind about taking two shots for the next time...and will have to get up earlier.
I think if I want to really make this work, I will have to do a lot of work, probably using a combination of all these methods.
Thanks to you all.
By the way, Re my question on screens without a reply button...when I click on a response, it appears without any reply button. How do I get a screen showing the reply button without entering a new question, cancelling out of it, and then clicking on a response, which is the only way I found to get a screen showing the reply button.

Photoshop CC and 2014 spot healing brush tool causing blue screen on windows 8.1

Hi,
The problem is when I'm using spot healing brush tool soon as apply it it causing fatal error on my windows. I have all suite up to date.
please advice.

First thing to do is check you have all the latest device drivers for all your devices and all windows 8 updates. Printer drivers, Display Drivers, Network drivers etc. It is not possible for an Application program like Photoshop.exe to cause a Blue Screen. However Applications use devices and device drivers are able to do things application programs can not do.

PS CS6 spot healing brush stopped working. followed online instructions but it did not work

I followed online instructions for resetting preferences and tools, but the spot healing brush no longer works. Help!

What operating system are you using? Did Preferences definitely reset? Did you see this dialog box
Do you definitely have the Spot healing brush selected? (top of the fly out list)
What is the brush mode in the Options bar? If anything but Normal, change it back to Normal.
Are you able to select the tool and it does not work, or can't even select it (greyed out)?
If you are able to select the tool, do you see the little no-go icon when trying to use it? (Circle with diagonal bar)
Any information that remotely useful will go a long way to helping us find an answer.

Editor spot healing brush using slider to adjust size

Is there anyway to make the "slider for size adjustment" more visible when using Editor Spot Healing Brush"?
On my system, the slider bar is black and against the dark gray of the Editor Screen" it makes it very difficlt for me see it.

I am starting over on a picture I already edited, using this tool a lot (to remove weird reflections, facial flaws, etc. I "reset all tools" to see if that would help and it isn't. I try to use "alt" on the face to set the base, but when I try to actually use the tool, nothing is happening.

I have used PSE 2.0 in the past and have just installed PS Elements 5.0. I have located the Spot Healing Brush which I have read is to be used for small spot fixes. I have found literature alluding to the 'Healing Brush', a different tool used for fixing larger areas of imperfection. Try as I might I cannot locate this tool on PSE 5.0 Is it not there? Can anyone help? Thanks

Spot healing brush with content aware or proximity match?

I want to do the following:
1. get rid of wrinkles, blemishes and dark circles under the eyes
What is the difference between using the content aware option and the proximity match option with the spot healing brush? Aren't they both blending surrounding pixels to get rid of the blemishes, wrinkles and dark circles?
Thanks.

Proximity Match is how the Healing Brush works, it takes the surrounding pixels and blends them together with the underlying stuff. Content Aware on the other hand tries to recreate the texture based on the surrounding pixels so it doesn't blend with the pixels that you just painted over. Try both, see which one produces better results for you.

Spot healing brush preset

Hello. I have a couple of hot pixels on the sensor and removing them individually from each picture is time consuming. Is there a way to apply the spot healing brush on one picture where needed and copy the brush strokes onto the other pictures since the spots remain stuck in exactly the same places on all images?
In other words I'd like to batch-heal all images at once.
Thank you,
David

do I need to open the image as a smart object to follow your guide?
So, first I have to make a selection/s and then Edit - Fill - ... ? If so, which tool would be best to make my tiny selections?
No, it doesn't have to be a smart object.
I'm kind of envisioning tying an action to a key that you can press when you're editing your document and want to make the change, but how you want to use it is entirely up to you.
Actions can seem a bit geeky, but once you get the hang of recording your steps as actions, and get used to the editor in the Actions panel, they can be quite useful for making repeatable functions that can be surprisingly complex. To record an action, name it appropriately then just do the operations you want to repeat on a representative image, then stop the recording. Brush strokes won't record, but most everything else will.
Since hot pixels affect probably 1 or maybe as many as 9 pixels, I'd suggest just using the rectangular marquee tool to make the very small selections (you can, of course, make more than one by holding down the shift key). Note that this assumes you'll be using the same sized images each time, and as I mentioned the locations will be different for a portrait and a landscape image.
Have fun with actions!

Spot/Healing Brush Tool?

I have used the Spot/Healing Brush in Lgtrm3 and now have Lgtrm 5; however, my Spot/Healing Brush in 5 does not work. I will click on the healing brush then adjust my brush size then click on the spot, then click "done". Nothing happens. Am I missing a step or is it the program?

Rikk,
Thanks for the help. I didn't realize that there was an opacity slifer for theSpot Brush. I see that if I increase the feathering there are times when it seems to leave a ghost. Any ideas? Also, When removing spots why would you use a feather edge as opposed to a hard one and how much feathering should a person use? I realize that these questions may require more time than you have but any comment or suggestion would be appreciated.

Spot healing brush issues in photoshop elements 11

I am new to photoshop elements 11. I am trying to use the spot healing brush. I select "content aware,' "sample all layers," and a brush, but I only get the cross hairs of the cursor, and not the black circle. My cursor preferences are currently at the default. I get a black line when I press the mouse key, but nothing changes in the photo. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I found that I had some problematic brush settings. I've developed this checklist for when I have similar issues:
o Try changing the px on the brush slider in thespot healing tool
o Go to the BRUSH tool (B), change opacity asneeded (probably 100%), go to the brush settings drop down and change thehardness (again probably to 100%)
o Check that CAPS LOCK is NOT on
o Go to the center icon (lower right by the ?),drop down, then select "reset all Tools," then restart the photoeditor
o Then try to reset the editor preferences: Quitthe editor, restart it from the welcome screen while holding downctrlshiftalt, then say "yes" to delete the settings file
You don't have to do all of these things. They are just things to check when you have brush problems. So now I'm working OK. I hope that this works for you.
